Your personality says “virgin”

He also didn't mention Grelod torturing the kids, I'm assuming he just isn't mentioning things you can fix as the player without adopting them.

@@joeyshears1483 That's true, BUT you can (and should) fix the Grelod issue with a single action without having to adopt all of those kids. That's part of why I agree with having the Orphanage kids at the bottom of the list, because their new caretaker is sweet and makes an effort to find them parents.

@@peekitty right that's kinda my point, regardless of which kids you plan to adopt you should end Grelod and the serial killer, then neither thing needs factor into your decision.

Wait what town is that?? I’ve never gotten incredibly far in terms of exploring side-quests and I’d love to go find an NPC to kill

So, uh, when I was first playing Skyrim I was advancing the serial killer quest every time I went to Windhelm and I wanted to adopt Sofie. When I finally got the children’s quarters in my house and went to adopt it was super early and she wasn’t in her bed. SHE had been chosen as the final victim for the butcher of windhelm. Getting the animated takedown with my ice spikes spell to save her was still the coolest moment I’ve ever had in Skyrim though.

I always adopt Sophie in all of my playthroughs.

@@ninjalex9791 Too bad you can't get Ulfric to adopt Sophie. That much waif innocence would melt his stubborn bigoted heart and make him change his ways. But not Mavin or the Thalmor. Thalmor would try to kidnap and exploit her and Mavin. . .I wouldn't put it past her to do what she normally does when people anger her.

What's her fate? I've never heard of The Little Match Girl.

@@chadharger9323 Why change perfection?

@@imtolazytocreateaname2322 pulled from wiki On a freezing New Year's Eve, a poor young girl, shivering and barefoot tries to sell matches in the street. Afraid to go home because her father would beat her for failing to sell any matches, she huddles in the alley between two houses and lights matches, one by one, to warm herself. However, the girl is ignored by passersby as no one buys from her, leaving her to suffer alone in the cold weather. In the flame of the matches, she sees a series of comforting visions: the warm iron stove, the lovely roast goose, the great glorious Christmas tree. Each vision disappears as its match burns out. In the sky she sees a shooting star, which her late grandmother had told her means someone is on their way to Heaven. In the flame of the next match she sees her late grandmother, the only person that ever treated her with love and kindness. To keep the vision of her grandmother alive as long as possible, the girl lights the entire bundle of matches. When the matches are gone, the girl freezes to death, and her grandmother carries her soul to Heaven. The next morning, passers-by find the girl's body with a smile on her face, and express pity. They do not know about the wonderful visions she had seen, or how happy she is with her grandmother in Heaven.

I was exactly like your son when I was 10 and the Hearthfire dlc came out to adopt children and build a house. Which is super funny to think about 😂

Sounds like you raised a good kid

That is so sweet!

That's adorable.

ffs too cute D: my heart hahah

I could raise some Orc urchins into a terrifying cabal of Orc raiders…

@@masterneloth “okay kids! Today we’re going to play our favorite game! Find the Halfling!”

Ulfric reads your comment and declares war on you.

Bro, I could make the orc urchin -> orc raider group a dungeons and dragon's encounter. There's this whole thing with the orc lore in one of the books where each orc kid gets accepted or rejected by the different groups. First the main orc warriors, then the healers, etc. If they're rejected by everyone, they basically abandoned/eaten by giant bats. Imagine one spy orc just letting them out the back way of the cave rather than making them bat food. He raises them all to be ruthless killers than overthrows the chief and takes over the whole ass clan!

@@ryhi5 And if you find the halfling the MEAT'S BACK IN THE MENU, BOYS!!!!!!

Holy shit I didn't know that! All I thought when I met her was, "Welp! Time to kill Grelod!" Now I have even more motivation to kill Grelod!

That has nothing to do with Grelod.@@VicDScott

⁠@@VicDScotthe’s referring to callixto for the blood on the ice quest, not grelod. Grelod didn’t kill the kids (that we know of anyway) she abused them, still deserved the death we gave her though. Sophie sleeps right next to his house until you choose to adopt her cause let’s not kid ourselves here, damn near EVERYONE adopted her.

Without a mod children are immortal in Skyrim, so she is perfectly safe.

@@needparalegal well you see there’s this thing called role play

Great minds think alike :)

Sofie and lucia are the best

Hivemind.

Sophie and Lucia top tier

Hell yeah Sofie/Alesan gang rise up

Same honestly! But that child seems strong and willing to take care of himself. He obviously cared about the other orphans as well knowing that they were being abused and mistreated. I like to think that he went on to become a bad ass and a caring father.

I downloaded a mod just to adopt him XD

@@UncrownedGlobe3 I think he would actually turn out pretty messed up, becoming a dark brotherhood assasin given the fact that he now looks up to them after you kill Grelod, and his willingness to invoke a dark ritual, even as a child.

​@@someonesilence3731 technically all the orphanage kids look up to the Dark Brotherhood after Grelod dies 😂

@@lynnz7501 True but Aventus outright states that he wants to become an assasin, I think he would end up going down a dark path.

I sure as hel wasn't gonna do it

My thoughts exactly LOL

Longbrow probably wasn't going to lol

Next video is which kid we wish we could kill!

@@matalvis Great, can't wait to see, to me most of the more killable ones are in whiterun

I always buy her out regardless of what kind of character I'm building I usually wind up with so much gold that when I adopt kids if they ask for money I give em 1k lol

I could play the most awful character who just murdered 5 innocent characters, but i will stop to buy her flowers and if i have a house i will adopt her.

@@Mesruksi I may be a blood thirsty monster BUT NOBODY HARMS CHILDREN **rips Lemkil to pieces in Vampire Lord form

You may be bad guy, but this does not mean you are *bad* guy

Ikr, I wouldn't mind helping run an orphanage in game. I wonder if there's a mod

@@bakedbaker9882 I think there is, they pretty much have a mod for everything

@@bakedbaker9882 there's a mod that increases the number of kids you can adopt up to 4, allowing you to adopt the 4 kids that sleep on the streets, it also changes the houses to have 4 beds for the kids

@No Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions. And you can have up to 6 kids total. There should also be a list on the mod page for custom houses that are compatible with the adoption mod. I believe there are also ways to expand the default houses to accommodate the mod as well. And yes, on the Nexus.

@No YW.

Considering The Butcher will go after female Argonians and Altmer he could easily go after a child like Sofie. Murder the Butcher and adopt Sophie!!!!!

@@masterneloth I always beat The Butcher to dead bare-handed and adopt Sofie.

😸

i had the same problem but sort of fixed it by marrying and bringing the wife to the same house.

But as we all know, there is only 1 available house per hold. And its reserved for Thanes. Still, she could rent a room in Candlehearth Hall every night.

Dude there's a long list of people including some Jarls that deserve that fate.

His name is an anagram for Killme

**raised hand indicating I do just that**

@@Greinaut. How did i not know this after playing Skyrim for over thousand hours?

tbf there's the son of two deceased legionares living in a barn. Like sure that's not as bad, but it's still terrible. Plus the Skyrim cities are only like a 10th of their actual size for gameplay purposes. I'd imagine in the actual Elder Scrolls world there's tons of war orphans walking around and neither side has the resources to take care of all of them. Plus these orphans were added as DLC characters explicitly made with tragic backstories to adopt. I highly doubt the devs meant to look any deeper than that.

Lucia is fucking ruthless…

@@masterneloth Hell yeah hehe, she makes good use of the septims we give her

@@masterneloth Lucia isn't a beggar. She's the Beggar Queen. You got got.

Another reason to love Hulda my mommy

YES. THIS. On my first playthrough on Skyrim:SE I found out I could adopt children. I found Lucia and gave her a coin. The SECOND I walked past her and she went "Can you be my mom?" my first thought was "That's it. I'm buying a house." Then I got married to Vilkas and adopted both her and Alesan. That first savefile is now lost to time due to me installing so many mods and having to delete my past characters so many times, but I always look back to it fondly.

"You're the best! Can you be my mother?" I literally just bawled my eyes out 😭 I didn't have a house, so I rushed to scramble 5000 gold as fast as I could and then the upgrade so she could join me. In the house. Then zi slowly upgraded it until it was a nice cosy place to live. Found gifts around the place to give to her, never adopted anyone else. I normally hate kids but that one line broke me 😭

@@Stettafire I did the same. I heard that line and immediately sold everything I could, to buy Breeze home and furnish the kids room. Before that, I didn't know how badly I actually want to have kids some day. ^^;

Adultification bias at work

@@Stettafire In my first Play I was constantly being picked by on by guards for being a Kajhiit and that lil girl was the first display of kindness the Kajhiit got in Skyrim. Lucia got herself a mother with deadly claws.

I think Lucia should be below the stable boy personally, I’ve given her enough gold to buy her own home in every play through 😂

@@splorpme Can't you only give her 1 coin per day? That's not even enough for food everyday

Im pretty sure you would always get the wrong clues and then find out that the killer wasn’t actually caught

​@@thegameranch5935 You can catch the real killer. Done it before. Though it's been awhile since I played Skyrim, so I don't really remember how you're supposed to figure out without prior knowledge.

@@alexanderticonuwu7591 yeah thats what I said

@@thegameranch5935 I think what they mean is, you can catch the killer without getting the wrong clues, and without getting the wrong person jailed before you catch the killer. *[Quest Spoilers Here]* , but this game is like 11 yrs old, so if you havent done the quest by now, idk what to tell ya... While the quest marker wont immediately point you to the wizard, when it updates saying to go the steward to tell on the wizard, **DONT** go to the steward "catch" the killer. You instead must go to and confront the wizard yourself. He'll scoff at you for accusing him, but will progress the quest along to where the killer will now attack at night after you talk to him. So you can then catch the killer right after talking to the wizard without having him imprisoned

@@vauni98FUCK. I knew something wasn't right about that quest.. I can't reload now, because I've done way too much progress and I'd rather not have to do it all over.

Britte is someone who is abused by the garbage Lemkil and so lashes out at Sissel for that. I think if she was raised better she wouldn’t be such a “cowbag” lol. But I understand what you mean

@@masterneloth very good point MAYBE, I'll give Britte a home in my next save but Lemkil has to die. Great video. Throughly enjoyed it.

Wouldn't Sissel be sad if something happens to her sister?

My favorite thing about Lemkil is that he'll randomly give you a quest to beat up one of his daughters because of their low relationship score and the radiant quest doesn't check if the target is a kid. Classic Bethesda oversight!

Lemkil just started a fight with everyone at the inn and lost… His nasty temperament got him in the end. Absolutely not my fault in any way. 😇

❤ that would make such a great mod!!! I hope someone does that

Cant they become followers and join your party so you could technically adopt them all?

@@youtubestudiosucks978 the multiple adoption mod doesn't allow you to turn children into followers. That's another mod.

Yooo same, I once almost finished the civil war, then remember her being in the city, slipped in during the night and adopt her away before I slaughter the Stormcloak

Get the merchant perk. If you don't buy them all right before adopting her, you run the chance of not being able to give her gifts at your house. The merchant perk is needed for the buying of her baskets.

@@sophiemendez5567 I didn't adopt her for my current playthrough. I wanted to change things up this time around. But thanks for letting me know that.

@@sophiemendez5567 I kind of wondered why I could buy them off of her with some of my characters lol

I love your play style dude! Two argonian dads taking in the orphans girls and raising them is quite adorable

Honestly I just love scouts many marshes, best husband.

No way, that's my exact setup too, haha! I love that silly little family so much

@@ImposterTheory wait thats literally my playthrough too. I'll adopt different kids for different files for role-playing purposes, but id say I adopt the same kids, marry the same man, and have them move into the same house.

I always give them the most allowance so they leave me alone, but then I come back and they either ask for more money (greedy bastards, wonder where they get it from lol) or they're like, "I got you something. I hope you like it." and they give a gold ring and you have to stand there not wanting to murder them lmao

I bring him home and my kids love him, so of course I adopt him as well. The full package. It's not like gold is scarce in Skyrim

I always adopt him and bring him home for my kids, though strangely my kids and such eventually all hate him, and I have no clue how to stop it or prevent it. :')

umm........meeko's a dog........ and dogs don't matter as much as children do.

@@chereseplatt686 You picked a bad time to get lost, friend...

​@@chereseplatt686 take that back now

Really, adopt *all* of them? I never know that. I'm looking for that mod. Thanks!

Same. I've tried adopting her multiple times, but she's always bugged.

That bug only happened to me once, when I adopted her while she wasn't at the location she sells flowers from. I think it happens when her AI is having her go to bed or something.

I've never had that happen what edition/ platform are you playing on?

@@vineousvondrake2456 Happened to me with Switch version.

@@rallaa941 I have legendary edition on the ps3 that might be it lol

If you want to use a house mod you should use any of Dovahkiinathay's player home mods as all of them are great

@@RussianKitty Thanks! I'll look into them!

@Charon the Toaster Because I wanted it this time around and literally no other reason

Another excellent house mod is TNF House renewal (I think that's the right name) it updated the vanilla houses interiors and their great

even if I don't adopt her (some characters I do, some I don't) if I don't I always by all her flowers, *Always*

Literally my logic in a nutshell 😎

You think that’s bad? Watch the Augur of Dunlain video by Camelworks…

Honestly, it doesn't seem like sexism is much of a thing in Skyrim. Sure, there's idiots like Mikael, but you see plenty of female warriors and business owners.

Good, you don’t need Lucia. Brenuin is enough of a paternal figure for her!

I killed braith’s parents inside her house. I’m leaving her smug ass in riften. It’s what she deserves for talking back to the Dragonborn

Is gay marriage possible in Skyrim? or did you use a mod?

@@0k_s0rry65 all Skyrim NPCs that can be married are bisexual, no mod needed

Happened to me with the Whiterun girl and the home was the 7500 gold next door in the Anniversery Edition.

You mean aside from everything? Everything.

the real question is what ISN'T wrong with Molag Bal?

@@ryhi5 Mehrunes Dagon is unironically more sympathetic than Molag Bal because he just wants to smash everything. Which is still pretty bad, just not as bad as anything Molag Bal will do to you.

@@TheKolboShow I compare Mehrunes Dagon to Beerus from DBZ. He represents a necessary evil. Things need to be destroyed in order for new things to be created. out with the old in with the new. Doesn't change the fact that Dagon is an Asshole, but compare him to Molag Bal. Where there's no purpose or necessity to Molag Bal's cruelty except to satisfy his own amusement.

@@ryhi5 an interesting thing is that some sources claim that Mehrunes Dagon was created to counter Molag Bal

There's a teen in markarth. Hangs out by the butcher and jewelry lady. Hroki I think her name is.
